Congratulations on you long service as a Marianist Brother.
Congratulations Brother, 🙏🎉🎊
Congrats Bill!
The Marianist Family was honored to celebrate jubilarians in both the Society of Mary and the Daughters of Mary Immaculate at a special mass and reception in Dayton this August.
One of the great joys of religious life is celebrating these humble servants that inspire us through their gift of self that spans many years. Their lives of adventure and fulfillment in service to the Church under the guidance and protection of Mary provide a great and powerful witness to the goodness of God and His perfect plan for each of us, but most especially those called to a vocation of religious life.
Blessings to our brothers and sisters celebrating significant anniversaries as vowed religious in the Marianist Family! #religiouslife #MarianistFamily #celebration #JUBILARIANS #Marianist #dayton

The Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary is a special day for the Marianist Family. It is the patronal feast of both the Society of Mary (SM) and the Daughters of Mary Immaculate (FMI).
For 175 years in the United States and more than 200 years worldwide, Marianists have served communities of faith to advance the mission of Mary under her patronage and protection. On this day, we recommit ourselves to serve Mary's mission in our day by following her desire that we "do whatever He tells you."

Happy Feast Day!
The Archdiocese of St. Louis Immigration Task Force and St. Louis University are hosting a Solidarity Walk and Mass in honor of the World Day for Migrants and Refugees. The Mass will be on September 29, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. at the Cathedral.
The Marianist Province of the U.S. is a proud sponsor of this event. The Catholic Church has been celebrating World Day of Migrants and Refugees since 1914; this will be its 110th celebration. The archdiocese reminds us that it is important to stand in solidarity with our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters, and we believe this event will be a public way to show support.
There is no need to RSVP. Bring one of your community members and a friend to the walk and the Mass celebration with Bishop Rivituso. Click here for more details loom.ly/QYpL0Fs. For those in other locations, please unite with us in prayer or consider organizing or participating a similar event in your community.

The Catholic Church chose this date, exactly nine months from The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, to celebrate The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
It’s Mary‘s birthday today. What spiritual gift would you like to give her?

A stalwart, great influence in my life. I give thanks to God for his vocation and a lifetime of love
Bro Leo was the cook or should I say the chef at Maryhurst during my journey through the postulate (65-69). I have had some brief contacts with him at various anniversary events and some life celebrations in San Antonio. Many fond memories. Happy anniversary Bro Leo!
Bro. Leo is one of my favs! We St. Louisans gotta stick together! ♥️
On the Memorial of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, we remember the grace and power of Jesus' mother who intercedes for us near the throne of God.
Sept. 5 is also the feast day of St. Theresa of Calcutta, who encouraged a devotion to Mary, "If you ever feel distressed during your day -- call upon Our Lady -- just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit -- this prayer has never failed me."
St. Theresa of Calcutta, pray for us.
Mary, Queen of the Apostles, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.
Amen
